Family Dinner April 2009: Quiche Lorraine

Since we are getting a lot of eggs from our chickens, now, we thought we'd make something to take to this month's family pot luck dinner that would use a lot of eggs.

So, here is my take on...


Quiche Lorraine

makes 2 9-inch pies

Ingredients
2 9-inch deep dish pie crusts
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 green onions, chopped
12 eggs
3 cups milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 cups emmental cheese, shredded (you could also use gruyere or swiss)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the bacon crumbles and the green onion pieces between the two pie crusts. In a bowl, beat the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg together. Spoon this mixture over the bacon and onions in your two pie crusts. Top with the shredded cheese. Bake 45-50 minutes or until the egg mixture is set in the middle.
